Audra has spent a lot of time at The Shadow Room on The Young and the Restless. It seemed like the last place she’d want to be, since it was reminiscent of her dark past in LA. But Audra distracts herself and makes good use of that time. She often needles Sienna, and also shows concern for Noah. What’s her motivation for returning to the relic of her past?
Key Takeaways
- Audra has been an unwanted guest at The Shadow Room.
- Audra enjoys throwing digs and daggers at Sienna.
- Audra also seems concerned about Noah.
What’s Behind Audra’s Motivation
For someone who’s running a new business with Sally (Courtney Hope), Audra (Zuleyka Silver) has a lot of time on her hands. As usual, she operates both ways.
On one hand, it seems like Audra is making a play to win Noah (Lucas Adams) back. She wants to remind him of their passionate romance. On the other hand, she is working to push Sienna (Tamara Braun) away by keeping her from spilling about her hidden, dark past. Despite their complex history, the spark between Audra and Noah is undeniable.
Audra made it clear to Sienna that she feels that she’s the better-suited woman for Noah. She thinks she can crack a smile, and Noah will get weak in the knees for her, as he has in the past.
Audra often lingers around The Shadow Room, waiting to see if Noah is around. She wants to subtly remind him of what they lost in London. When Audra interacts with Noah, her cynical side disappears. She softens her edges around him and offers comfort, drawing him in rather than pushing him away.
Audra’s Scheme to Push Sienna Away
Audra doesn’t limit her rivalry with Sienna to simple barbs. Sienna holds the key to exposing Audra and Holden’s (Nathan Owens) crimes. Because Sienna witnessed Audra’s behavior firsthand in her club, Audra feels threatened by her presence in Genoa City. This is also why their rivalry over Noah is so intense.
Sienna knows exactly what Audra did in Los Angeles. Sienna ran The Shadow Room nightclub in Los Angeles with her then-husband Mitch, aka Matt (Roger Howarth).
During that time, Audra and Holden committed an illegal act involving a fight and a theft of $500,000. Sienna knows Audra’s mean-girl playbook and holds the ultimate leverage over the illegal cover-up in Los Angeles.
When Audra shows up at the club to needle Sienna, she deflects from her own vulnerability. Rather, she attacks Sienna’s past, her link to Matt Clark, and the danger it brought to Noah’s life. Is that her sole motivation, or does Audra really want to win Noah back?
